Lots of nice touches in the room. Very clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food at the resturand was very good. Hotel free breakfast was very good tasting. (Biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon and potatoes and many other options)They used real dishes and silverware. Real glass drinking glasses in the room as well. Plenty of coffee packets in the room so we didnt have to always ask for more. Appliances worked perfectly and were.clean. Just a nice overall experience.

Nice place

The rooms were very nice inside, the outside looks like a simple motel. There apparently was a boil order but they never told us guests until next morning and only because I came in to office. Friends made coffee with tap water…. I would suggest some hooks in the bathroom.

Amazing place to stay

We stayed here in 2009 under different management and it was mediocre. I can tell you that this management has made this amazing place to stay. It was us and our two children. The roomy was roomy and so clean! Everything was in excellent condition and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and will again.

Check in was very easy, the woman at the desk was friendly, gave us suggestions for dinner and over all over our stay was fine. The restaurant next door was excellent, room was very clean, towels were new, easy parking. New carpet, window coverings and bed covers would really update the rooms.

Friendly Staff, Quaint Motel. Near MO Parks

I really liked this family-run motel. Not everything is up-to-date, but it was clean and homey. There is a creek out the back that my kids walked along. The breakfast is quite nice - and some of it was home made. I asked my kids and they would enthusiastically stay here again. Keep in mind that this is not a place that has a "big city" hotel feel. Embrace it for what it is, and you will like the Shepherd Mountain Inn.

The people are very nice and breakfast is pretty good. But there are so many flies in the room. I killed 8 flies the first two hours after I entered it.
